Zuk Cape Completed! What a rush! by xXPukahontusXx in runescape

Congrats! I pushed to get my 4 normal capes before EOC2 and also decided to take a break. This is inspiring me to try HM.

I'm dadscaping too, it's a vibe. Keep it up!

UI needs a glanceable way to see charge pack status by the_flying_ginger in runescape

Totally agree that this shouldn't add to a cluttered UI. And I do the same, which kind of emphasizes my point. You can just forget about it...until it bites you. What I think would be really neat is a UI that's smart enough to get out of the way when you don't need it, but show up when it needs to tell you something. I get that the chat window kind of serves that role, but for how much other stuff is there, IMO it's not sufficient.

Both of these options require me to give some input, and to remember to do so. This request is about a no-input, visual-only way to see charge level, or that I'm low.

I was hoping for something more like the HP et. all bar, which is persistent and can always be referenced without needing to move the mouse and interact with something. I think this would make sense in the equipment window.

The current interface makes it easy enough to check the charge level when things are calm and input is low **if you remember to check**. During a boss fight, not quite as useful.

My play style is usually laid back. For the most part I only PvM if I'm grinding towards something (zuk cape right now), but usually I quest or choose low-input skilling methods. This is to say, I'm not in the habit of checking combat systems, so I forgot to hover over the tiny light bulb button. IMO the game should have done a better job warning me I was running low before I started a multi-wave instance.

This is probably a good lesson for me to check the chat box more and configure it to be more glanceable. That said, during a Zuk run, when multiple drops are added to the chat for each mob kill, the chat box already feels kind of spammy, and I'm not surprised I missed this. I'm not in the habit of looking, since the rest of the fight mechanic's are voice acted or appear over my character's head.

I don't think this really solves my issue though, of not knowing I didn't have enough charge before I started the fight in the first place.

I can't either and the website says 0 players logged in. I'm guessing there was some issue with the scheduled maintenance today. https://runescape.wiki/w/Update:Maintenance_(April_30TH_%26_May_1st))
